Saying Goodbye to our lives in Stockholm. #9

We’re moving on our sailboat. This is how it feels. #8
10 days to the move, we are getting the boat ready for us to move onboard! I was secretly hoping that Ryan would have put the boat back in order while I was away, sailing across the North Sea. Nope! It had a lot of work left to do… Coming home, the r...

What launching our sailboat wrecked. #6 (My nerves. It was my nerves)

ANTIFOULING: Who would put hard paint on top of soft paint?! #3
6 weeks to departure! I knew that becoming a sailboat owner meant that at some point, I would end up with a sanding machine in my hands and a valved safety mask on my face, doing something that I was probably not going to enjoy. In this episode, Ryan an...
